JANUARY 22
On Friday evening, at Senator McCarthy's request, Mr. Adams went to the Senator's apartment. The visit lasted from about 8:30 p.m. until about 11:15 p.m. Mrs. McCarthy was present, in addition to Senator McCarthy and Mr. Adams.
The principal topics discussed were:
1) Senator McCarthy's request that members of the Army Loyalty-Security Appeals Board be made available for interrogation by the committee, and
2) the possibility of an immediate assignment to New York City for Private G. David Schine.
On many occasions during the evening, Senator McCarthy said he did not see why it would not be possible for the Army to give Private Schine some assignment in New York and to forget about the whole matter; on at least three occasions he attempted to secure such a commitment from Mr. Adams.
Senator McCarthy pointed out that the Army was walking into a long-range fight with Mr. Cohn and that even if Mr. Cohn resigned or was fired from the committee staff, he would carry on his campaign against the Army from outside Washington . . .
